Lacking any real issues to run on, the Democrat Party and its candidate have been telling anyone who will listen that the United States is staring a new Depression in the eye. They cite the rising per barrel cost of oil, rising health care costs, and the "failure" of the Bush administration to create jobs, despite the fact that the government doesn't create jobs; private industry and businesses, large and small, do that.
If you believed the Democrats, you would have to conclude the economy is a mess, but it is not. By June of this year, all the economic indicators pointed to a very healthy economy and one that was growing. Writing that month, Mortimer B. Zuckerman, editor-in-chief, of U.S. News and World Report, was almost euphoric. "New jobs are being generated in large numbers, income is growing at twice the rate of last year, and the acceleration is such that we will probably see 5 percent growth in the gross domestic product." The numbers by June included the fact that 61 percent of private industries surveyed had added workers, "the highest in four years." . . . . .

And Kerry accused Bush of "manipulating the facts". What a crock.
It's sad when we have to have Canada tell us these things.
If Skerry wins... Watch the economy EXPLODE!! You'll know it's taking off cuz the MSM will tell you so.
